Bar Council calls on Lord Chancellor to condemn attacks on judiciary

The Bar
Council, the representative body of all barristers in England &
Wales, has today passed the following resolution calling on the
Lord Chancellor to condemn the recent attacks on the
judiciary.

The Bar
Council of England and Wales condemns the serious and unjustified
attacks on the judiciary arising out of the Article 50 litigation.
It regrets the lack of public statement by the Lord Chancellor
condemning these attacks and calls upon the Lord Chancellor to do
so as a matter of urgency. A strong independent judiciary is
essential to a functioning democracy and to upholding the rule of
law.
